Drying:

I just cut the plant off at base...and hang the whole plant upside down on a clothes line, indoors...the bottom branches hold it well...

dark, cool room, with indirect air flow...around 50% humidity and 70 degrees or lower..

the branches should break with a snap (but not break into)...when ready for the jars....(one or two weeks)...

Curing:

Large mouth, glass quart jars...(canning jars)

Large colas in the bottom...popcorn buds loosely filled to the top of the jar.
store in a cool, dark place. Burp the jars every few days, to let built up gases escape, but you are not wanting to add fresh air.

I really don't know how a glass cooler would work. For curing ..you want something air tight.
